Electronic patient file: Dangerous trap?

How to protect your health data from the ePA NOW!
Published by Patricia Lederer 13.03.2025 um 05:16 Uhr

From 2025, EVERYONE in Germany will automatically receive an electronic patient record – whether you like it or not!

Your health data is stored, passed on and linked centrally. And the best part? Many objection forms on the internet are WRONG!

What does that mean for you?

  • Who has access to your health data? Doctors, clinics, health insurance companies – and perhaps even third parties?
  • What happens to sensitive information? Psychotherapy, diagnoses, medication plans – everything can be recorded!
  • Have you lodged an objection? Then you should urgently check whether the health insurance company has really deleted your ePA.

FACT: Health insurers are trying to push through the ePA at all costs! They conceal your options and often do not comply with the deletion obligation.


Your plan against the electronic patient file!

  • Step 1: Object correctly – with the official sample objection form!
    Many forms are incorrect or incomplete. Our legal document is based on the legal basis from the German Social Code – with a clear message to your health insurance company!
  • Step 2: Control is everything – has your health insurance provider really deleted the ePA?
    Even if you have objected, you should definitely check whether your data has been deleted. You can do this with the PepperPapers legal document “What does your health insurance company know about you?” – so that you can see in black and white what is really still stored.

Your right: The health insurance company must delete the ePA and prove it!
And within a fixed period of time! Use our legal document to make sure you are legally compliant and secure your data.
